The Department of Pharmacy at BIDMC employs approximately 200 FTEs including both inpatient and outpatient services. This consists broadly of an administrative team, clinical pharmacy specialists, clinical pharmacists, pharmacy residents, pharmacy technicians, students, and other support personnel who provide comprehensive pharmacy services to patients and other members of the healthcare team. Inpatient and outpatient pharmacy services are provided by clinical pharmacists/specialists in a team based practice model. Within this model, pharmacists collaborate with interdisciplinary teams in assigned patient care areas/clinics and are responsible for the pharmaceutical care and medication management of their patients. In addition to medication order verification, pharmacists are actively involved in providing drug information, performing pharmacokinetic evaluation and dosing for select medications, reviewing medications for renal dose adjustment, reviewing pertinent laboratory information and assessing the impact on the patient’s medication profile, and monitoring target medications. This spectrum of care includes provision of services to adult and geriatric patient populations as well as premature and full term infants. In addition to the team-based/clinic pharmacy practice, the pharmacy operates several specialty areas including: investigational drugs, ambulatory infusions, and oncology infusion clinic services. Medication reliability and safety are integral to the provision of optimal pharmaceutical care and the pharmacy including the Medication Safety division continually reviews medication incident reports, adverse drug events and medication errors to identify potential areas for improvement of systems. Active involvement in multidisciplinary quality assurance programs, assist the pharmacy in evaluating the specific needs of its patients. The Department of Pharmacy works with both subcommittees and the overarching Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) committee to review medications for formulary status, to perform and review medication use evaluations, to develop medication use policies, and to contribute to clinical resource management activities of the medical center. The P&T Committee provides an interdisciplinary forum that facilitates consistent communication between the members of the Department of Pharmacy and physicians, nurses, and other allied health professionals. BIDMC is a part of the larger, regional Beth Israel Lahey Health (BILH) network and collaborates across the system level to provide coordinated pharmacy services across the greater Boston community. Members of the BIDMC team are involved in guideline/policy work and contribute to medication policy committees including a BILH System P&T Committee, Ambulatory Care, Infectious Diseases/Antimicrobial Stewardship, and Hematology Oncology committees and a Clinical-Operations Workgroup to tackle harmonization as a network. In addition to the provision of inpatient and outpatient pharmaceutical services, the pharmacy department also serves as an Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) site for pharmacy students for nearby schools of pharmacy including serving as a practice site for Clinical Faculty from both Boston-based schools of pharmacy, MCPHS University and Northeastern University.
